The reason we shouldn't say these things is because they are wrong in general. There is no magic silver bullet against depression. Especially not a one-size-fits-all one. And telling depressed people to go out and exercise can be actively harmful because it puts even more pressure on people who find it hard to cope with everyday pressures.
definitely, what I mean is refocusing on the very basic things humans do and exiting the excessive social pressure help to regenerate ourselves. By "outdoor activities" I don't mean something with other people, with schedules etc.. no just very simple things, like walking alone, around trees, and releasing all that pressure
You don't understand depression, and you are not qualified to make suggestions to people with depression. Please stop.
We are talking about people who find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, and to motivate themselves to do the most basic tasks, let alone putting on clothes, going out, possibly going among people to ride public transport to where the nice trees are. Ugh. Also, the season/weather might be all wrong for enjoyment outside. Also, even temporary enjoyment outside might not cure a medical condition that you obviously do not understand.
"Just motivate yourself" is not a solution for not being able to motivate oneself. Please stop.
Or maybe they've found walking alone in nature has helped with their own depression. It's certainly helped me.
Stop with with "you aren't qualified" crap. This is an internet forum where anyone can contribute their own thoughts. Do you actually want only certified mental health professionals to be able to comment on these threads?
To take an analogy, I feel like I'm suggesting someone should try and fix himself his bicycle flat tire, and you're reponding: "No, don't, you could injure yourself. Make sure you go see a professional and don't listen to those personal experiences"
I know it's a serious topic, I've been diagnosed with depression several years ago, that's why I just let my simple experience with it, that goes well with ideas developed in the article, of natural & risk-free drug/treatments alternatives
